Shipwright school blog - the timber frame takes shape

After another week of brilliant students the progress of the building has sped up and we are able to see whole walls and frames and now a roof section.

The weather has been blisteringly hot and all have needed to cool off in the adjacent river after a long day’s work. There is lots of interest from the visitors to Buckler’s Hard, most think we are building a boat and keep asking when it is being launched? That will come later when the building becomes a Shipwright School. More timber was delivered, more braces cut, more detailed explanations of timber frame joints and visits to local barns.
